Stolen from another page but has some really good points so thought I would share 🙂

Every year, about 100,000 dogs die because they ride in the back of trucks. And that’s just the number of dogs that die—even more get badly hurt.

Truck beds don’t protect dogs from the weather. On hot days, the metal floor can get so hot it burns their paws or skin. If a dog is left in the sun without water or shade, it can get heatstroke very quickly.

Even though dogs might look happy with the wind in their faces, dirt, dust, and other stuff in the air can hurt their eyes, ears, and lungs.

Never tie your dog to the truck bed. If the dog falls or jumps out, it could get strangled by the leash. This can happen in an accident or even if the dog just tries to jump out.

If your dog has to ride in the back of a truck, put it in a crate. Make sure the crate is tied down tightly so it can’t move around or fall out. This will help protect your dog from the wind and weather.

Keep your pets safe! 💙

So true!

There are some very serious problems with pack walks and dog day care and it needs to be recognised. While there are some good and GREAT dog day cares and walkers, there are also some that will affect your dog for a very long time.There really are some great ones out there, no doubt about it. They t...

Back into salon life this week after the lovely long holiday, Winnie now has her own royal heiness throne for when she feels like hanging in the salon too 🤭🥰 (let's hope it makes it the week without getting peed on by a guest 🤞🏼)

Hey everyone, I just am having to bring in pre-payment for grooms as when I ended EFTPOS I have had to chase up quite a few payments for people who would forget to pay on the day. I don't want to have to bring EFTPOS back as a small business it's quite costly to have these things so unfortunately I'm going to have to request payment 48hrs before your appointment. When I send the reminder texts I will be requesting payment for the groom at the same time. If you want to pay on the day you absolutely can, but it will need to be by cash. Please don't take offence, these things happen I'm just trying to prevent it if I can 🙂
Thanks for taking the time to read.

Just wanted to let you all know about Dog Pack, its a really cool app that tells you where all the dog friendly walks and parks are near you. Not just in NZ either, all over the world. DogPack even has an area you can leave reviews to let people know what the walks are like. It is basically Facebook but for dogs, you make up a profile for your dog/dogs and then you can start searching for places you can take your fur babies for a walk. It has been really helpful for us while we are away in Ohakune 🙂

Just sharing how Susie is doing, thanks all who have donated or shared ❤️🐾

Susies pack is now 36 supporters strong!!! Her supporters have helped raise $1,580.00 towards her on going medical bills. We are so grateful to everyone who has heard her story and answered our call to action. We hope Santa was extra nice to all of you this year 😊

Susie's foster carer recently sent us this update:

"She (Susie) has been a wee trooper and her recovery is on track so far. The dressing change today went well, she is tolerating those without sedation which is a relief. Her vets are happy with the healing so far, just a little redness over one knuckle which they have put extra padding on. She had a bit of wound ooze the first few days but settling down now.
I have turned one room into a recovery ward - moved out the couches (Su likes to jump up on them) and put in lots of beds and blankets. Our guys are keeping her company, snoozing the time away with her.
She is not happy to be missing out on walks with our guys but she is enjoying the extra treats used as bribery. Peanut butter is a hit to take her meds with."

Susie still has a long road (with lots of vet visits) ahead. We are aiming to raise $15,000.00 to cover the costs of her x-rays, surgeries, meds, follow up vets visits, physio appointments, and all of the other miscellaneous costs that pop up when caring for a houndy with such an injury.

Please consider joining Susie's pack of supporters by donating to her Give A Little Page. Wrap up 2024 by doing something GREYT.
